How to decompress files from a ZIP file - ZIP ගොනුව විහිදුවා ගොනු කරන්නේ කෙසේද?

In previous article, we show you how to compress files to a zip file format. In this article we will show you how to unzip it.

Read ZIP file with “ZipInputStream”
Get the files to “ZipEntry” and output it to “FileOutputStream“

1. Decompress ZIP file example

In this example, it will read a ZIP file from “C:\\MyFile.zip“, and decompress all zipped files to “C:\\outputzip” folder.

package com.javamyschool.zip;
 
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
import java.util.zip.ZipInputStream;
 
public class UnZip
{
    List<String> fileList;
    private static final String INPUT_ZIP_FILE = "C:\\MyFile.zip";
    private static final String OUTPUT_FOLDER = "C:\\outputzip";
 
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
     UnZip unZip = new UnZip();
     unZip.unZipIt(INPUT_ZIP_FILE,OUTPUT_FOLDER);
    }
 
    /**
     * Unzip it
     * @param zipFile input zip file
     * @param output zip file output folder
     */
    public void unZipIt(String zipFile, String outputFolder){
 
     byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
 
     try{
 
     //create output directory is not exists
     File folder = new File(OUTPUT_FOLDER);
     if(!folder.exists()){
      folder.mkdir();
     }
 
     //get the zip file content
     ZipInputStream zis = 
      new ZipInputStream(new FileInputStream(zipFile));
     //get the zipped file list entry
     ZipEntry ze = zis.getNextEntry();
 
     while(ze!=null){
 
        String fileName = ze.getName();
           File newFile = new File(outputFolder + File.separator + fileName);
 
           System.out.println("file unzip : "+ newFile.getAbsoluteFile());
 
            //create all non exists folders
            //else you will hit FileNotFoundException for compressed folder
            new File(newFile.getParent()).mkdirs();
 
            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(newFile);             
 
            int len;
            while ((len = zis.read(buffer)) > 0) {
         fos.write(buffer, 0, len);
            }
 
            fos.close();   
            ze = zis.getNextEntry();
     }
 
        zis.closeEntry();
     zis.close();
 
     System.out.println("Done");
 
    }catch(IOException ex){
       ex.printStackTrace(); 
    }
   }    
}

Output

file unzip : C:\outputzip\pdf\Java-Interview.pdf
file unzip : C:\outputzip\spy\log\spy.log
file unzip : C:\outputzip\utf-encoded.txt
file unzip : C:\outputzip\utf.txt
Done
